Thanks Mike. Upon starting it from testdata by modifying the path to that of the separate instance was able to start successfully the Hiveserver (&metastore).
Looking to tell Impala cluster startup to use this Hive instance instead of it's own. Where do I comment it's own hive startup and configure to use the separate instance that we are running.
